tantek
Kartik yes you give both though I think mostly left past
#
KartikPrabhu
tantek: lol! no I give 2 examples of Left Past and 3 of Left Future unless you can only counting indieweb sites ;)
#
KartikPrabhu
in anycase, number of examples wasn't the reason for my choice
#
tantek
no all the book etc. examples are left past
#
tantek
all the prior art
#
KartikPrabhu
aah sure.
#
tantek
though I think traditional Japanese books are left future
#
KartikPrabhu
but you also start at the first page of the book not the last ;)
#
KartikPrabhu
we are probably retreading our discussion from easrlier :P
#
tantek
no this is different we never discussed books
#
tantek
no you always start at the "first" page as that is logical, not physical
#
tantek
in western books you start at the left most page
#
tantek
in traditional japanese books you start at the right most page
#
KartikPrabhu
yup! and on list of posts on the web you start from most recent post
#
tantek
in either case you start at the first page
#
KartikPrabhu
which is the "first" page
#
KartikPrabhu
the next page is then to the right
#
tantek
not if you land on a permlaink
#
KartikPrabhu
I don't have arrow things on my permalinks :)
#
tantek
then there is no context of "start" or list
#
KartikPrabhu
only on "feed"/list pages
#
tantek
you don't nave next / prev post links?
#
tantek
so you don't have sequential navigation
#
KartikPrabhu
not on each post no

How I start every lesson on Concepts about Print:
#
aaronpk
apparently if someone deletes their facebook account, facebook keeps a stub of their account on your friends list, and shows you that their account is inactive but still shows you're friends with them
#
tantek
uh that's messed up
#
tantek
does it the stub show a profile image or any other info?
#
aaronpk
no profile image, just their name
#
aaronpk
and doesn't link anywhere
#
aaronpk
and it's only visible to yo
#
tantek
are you sure that's not a deactivation?
#
aaronpk
oh this does say "has been deactivated"
#
[jgmac1106]
though I have been arguing at literacy research our definition of concept of print must change to account for the web
#
aaronpk
it does bring up an interesting question of data ownership though
#
aaronpk
if i add someone to my personal address book, shouldn't that information be there until i decide to remove it?
#
tantek
I would think so, but probably depends if its an online service (GDPR) or not
#
aaronpk
can someone request to be removed from someone's google contacts, if that person doesn't have a google account?

So I am trying to learn more about endpoints so I can figure out if I can get OmniBear to Syndicate to twitter through Known and you end up stumbling through history: https://indieweb.org/2011/How_the_Indie_Web_Hooks_into_Hosted_Communities
#
[jgmac1106]
Our definition of the first page must change. I went from indieweb.org but opened a new tab, was it the search engine?, indieweb.org, or the second link I clicked using my search terms?

Anybody have experience getting webmentions working with Ghost? /longshot
#
aaronpk
what is ghost?
#
Loqi
Ghost is an an open source blogging software project written in node.js, and also a hosted silo at https://ghost.org https://indieweb.org/Ghost
#
aaronpk
there might be some info there
#
tantek
Thom_M mixed experience so far, some interest in Webmention, yet the key underyling markup was reject in a pull request: https://indieweb.org/Ghost#IndieWeb_Friendly

aaronpk
ah that's right

[Thom_M]
Right on. Thanks, guys

[Thom_M]: feel free to reach out to try to make more progress!
#
[Thom_M]
Well, the theme I'm modding has a disqus section built into it, so the path of least resistance is probably to fork the theme, rip out disqus, and replace it with webmentions.
#
tantek
that could work!

how does indieweb interact with the federated social network scene? love/hate/indifferent?
KartikPrabhu joined the channel
#
tantek
hey pjz - quite well - indieweb federates across social sites with webmention
#
tantek
what is webmention
#
Loqi
Webmention is a web standard for mentions and conversations across the web, a powerful building block that is used for a growing federated network of comments, likes, reposts, and other rich interactions across the decentralized social web https://indieweb.org/Webmention
KapiX joined the channel
#
KartikPrabhu
what is federated social network?
#
Loqi
It looks like we don't have a page for "federated social network" yet. Would you like to create it? (Or just say "federated social network is ____", a sentence describing the term)
#
tantek
what is federated
#
Loqi
federation in the context of the indieweb refers to services and features on indieweb sites that work directly with other indieweb sites peer-to-peer, without having to setup or create accounts in both places, and without being bottlenecked by any kind of centralized service or silo https://indieweb.org/federated
#
tantek
federated social network is /federated

KartikPrabhu
tantek: is that what the question by pjz meant?

Good morning IndieWeb
#
Zegnat
https://chat.indieweb.org/2018-05-02/1525219455687000 - good to know the pile of manga I have lying about are “traditional japanese books” ;) AFAIK all manga, even translated to English, is published in a right-to-left page format. (That is, you start at the “last” page of the book, from a Western view point.)
#
Loqi
[tantek] in traditional japanese books you start at the right most page

good day Zegnat
#
Zegnat
Hellow tantek :) Doing anything IndieWeb today?
#
tantek
still working on in-stream reply-contexts. I was briefly distracted by documenting classic Foursquare badges as inspiration for aaronpk for badge design https://indieweb.org/Foursquare#Foursquare_Badges
#
Zegnat
Yeah, saw that, I caught up on the logs before breakfast
#
swentel
much irony there
tantek and [kevinmarks] joined the channel
#
[kevinmarks]
well, bugger, twitter has locked my account for live tweeting, and is sending SMS to my old number
[mrkrndvs] joined the channel
#
tantek
[kevinmarks]: weren't you verified?
#
[kevinmarks]
i haven't been verified no
#
[kevinmarks]
apparently live tweeting from Dubai shows automated behaviour
#
[kevinmarks]
maybe it's time to make noterlive use micropub
#
swentel
so for rsvp's is there some consensus that say if you 'like' it on twitter it means "Yes I will attend" ?
#
Loqi
[Kevin Marks] Twitter has blocked me because my live tweeting looked automated, and are asking me to respond to a phone number I don't have any more to unlock my account. I wonder if they can use the rel-me to this site to see that it is me and not a bot? #indiewe
#
[kevinmarks]
in soviet indieweb, silos quit you
catsup joined the channel
#
Zegnat
swentel, not that I know of. I actually think a like on an event announcement on Twitter is closer to Facebooks “interested” than “attending”?
#
swentel
hmm yeah, that makes more sense
adactio joined the channel
#
swentel
I can make it configurable in the drupal plugin of course

swentel
because I don't know many people yet how will be able to use rsvp with their site :)

swentel
s/how/who
#
Zegnat
Definitely. People have been crossposting events to event silos a lot, so there is always the possibility to offer outside RSVP

Who is klez?
#
Zegnat
Hmm. Isn’t klez in Gent as well, or am I misremembering?
#
cweiske
if https://github.com/cweiske/anoweco/issues/5 was implemented, you could offer commentpara.de as rsvp hosting silo

[unoabraham] joined the channel
#
[kevinmarks]
i hope this doesn't revoke my apps too
#
tantek
Zegnat, swentel did you check for any previous brainstorming on the wiki on Twitter and RSVPs?
#
tantek
Zegnat - "crossposting events to event silos a lot" really? examples? I see the opposite - less and less because event silos are getting worse
#
tantek
(with the exception of Calagator which is still decent)
#
Zegnat
Weren’t you crossposting all HWCs to Facebook?
#
tantek
was, then did fewer
#
Zegnat
Aah, alright.
#
tantek
and nearly no one else does on HWC pages
#
tantek
you can just check recent HWC event pages to draw a conclusion based on data
#
Zegnat
I think Jeena mentioned putting a potential Gbg HWC on Meetup. Not sure what Berlin’s stance on that is at the moment, as they are on hiatus
#
tantek
instead of surmising "a lot"
#
tantek
offhand mentions in IRC < actual links to real posts on HWC event pages
#
[kevinmarks]
hm. Realised that I don't think I know anyone at twitter any more, and even if I did , I can't dm them
#
Zegnat
Looks like all of the Baltimore HWCs were crossposted to Upcoming and Facebook. London used Eventbrite. Nürnberg is crossposted to Facebook by joschi. So of the last couple of HWCs this year, only SF isn’t crossposting to a silo.
#
Zegnat
The last Portland one was on Facebook, Upcoming, and Calagator. Lots of silo crossposting.
#
Zegnat
Though this is also making me realise how few cities are doing HWC these last months :o
#
Zegnat
needs to get Virtual HWC picked up stat!
#
tantek
Zegnat I'm not seeing these links on the HWC event pages
#
tantek
where are you seeing them?
#
tantek
*silo links
#
Zegnat
Joschi only uses the boiler plate event and doesn’t put the Facebook links on the wiki at all, it seems.
#
Zegnat
But I sometimes still get invited for the Facebook events, or Facebook surfaces them for me.
#
Zegnat
London links to Eventbrite RSVP only on their own website, as an alternative below RSVP Webmention and IndieWeb.org wiki edit..
#
Loqi
Homebrew Website Club, London
#
Zegnat
Portland has its own pages with all the links, e.g.: https://indieweb.org/events/2018-03-14-homebrew-microblog
#
Zegnat
This all comes back to the age-old discussion of event organisers feeling they do not reach people through the wiki, I guess. https://indieweb.org/events/2018-05-02-homebrew-website-club#N.C3.BCrnberg does not link to https://www.facebook.com/events/925100131002522/ probably because jkphl is not a big wiki user himself and has a better visit rate from the FB event.
#
Zegnat
Organisers not putting it all on the wiki does make it hard to show silos are being used, for sure.
#
tantek
right
#
Zegnat
For today’s HWC, I added the FB link to Nürnberg and Eventbrite to London. That shows the silos I know about right now. Not going to go and update HWC pages retroactively though.
#
tantek
what can we do to help organizers post indie events for HWC?
#
tantek
Zegnat thanks for that
#
Zegnat
Not use a wiki? Hahaha
#
Loqi
awesome
#
tantek
just reported an IBM blockchain ad on IG as being a "scam or misleading"
#
tantek
Zegnat where did you get "Not use a wiki?"
#
tantek
are you implying an artificial dichotomy?
#
Zegnat
I think the wiki being not good for events was the gist of the last Leaders Summit I recall? And there was some discussion of running your own Calagator instance instead? Would have to dig for the logs.
#
tantek
huh? so nothing to do with "help organizers post indie events "?
#
tantek
are you tangenting or non-sequitoring?
#
Zegnat
Ah, sorry, I misread your question.
#
Zegnat
I thought it was asking how to help organisers post full info to the wiki.
#
Zegnat
Apart from Nürnberg, they all have indie events besides the silos
#
Zegnat
So I am not sure posting indie events is the problem
#
tantek
oh good that's better than I thought for some reason
#
tantek
also means we may be close to being able to build something that aggregates from indie events instead of depending on the wiki
#
Zegnat
Baltimore, London, SF, are some big regulars this year. They all have indie events. I think Portland has them, courtesy of aaronpk, but I don’t actually see one linked from the wiki now ...
#
jeremycherfas
vHWC tonight?
#
Zegnat
Are you organising, jeremycherfas? ;) Let me check my calendar, I *might* be free. I’ve just been swamped lately.
markong joined the channel
#
jeremycherfas
I wasn't planning on organising. Don't really know what is involved, especially for vHWC. I guess we can all use sknebel's Mumble, although I have no idea what to do if there are problems.
#
Zegnat
If there are problems, you poke at sknebel until they are solved. I can’t do much else either. Organising is mostly just “showing up”. But looks like I am free to talk IndieWeb tonight!
#
Zegnat
goes to add vHWC to the wiki for today
#
Zegnat
Want to add any discussion points to the docket, jeremycherfas?
#
jeremycherfas
I think it would be useful to have a discussion around auth. There have been so many changes lately that I am definitely confused, and if it results in me being able to do a write up, that would be a bonus.
#
Zegnat
I am happy to oblige on that one!

A website way out yonder linked to a blog post of mine. The first thing I thought was "hey cool" and the second thing I thought was "Oh boy, a non-Bridgy webmention source I can paste in!" and the third thing was "Uhhh I should test this locally first, because my WM implementation is probably so rubbish that it would burn down my blog."

My assumption is that my "webmention parser" is really a Bridgy parser, despite my best efforts, so I'll be glad to prove otherwise
pepee and [snarfed] joined the channel
#
[snarfed]
jmac did you write your own mf2 parser?!?
#
aaronpk
even if not, there's still the danger of parsing only the exact mf2 structure that bridgy produces rather than the quite varied markup that exists elsewhere. see /authorship
#
jmac
[snarfed]: Yes. And let it never be said I was proud. But: https://metacpan.org/pod/Web::Mention

Ohh, I misread. That's my WM parser, my MF2 parser is here: https://metacpan.org/pod/Web::Microformats2

And yes, it's the first one in Perl that I'm aware of. Otherwise I wouldn't have written it. :)

[indienews] New post: "The IndieWeb privacy challenge (Webmentions, silo backfeeds, and the GDPR)" https://sebastiangreger.net/2018/05/indieweb-privacy-challenge-webmentions-backfeeds-gdpr/ (from https://aaronparecki.com/2018/05/02/8/)
#
jmac
pstuifzand: If you ever feel like taking my CPAN module for a spin I'd love to hear how well it works! I am not yet aware of anyone except me using it.
#
petermolnar
that's some modern perl
#
pstuifzand
It's cool to see someone else using Perl as well
#
jmac
True fact: the man pages' example code used to have super-modern Perl features like subroutine signatures and switch statements and the #perl crowd politely suggested that was a little too wacky for a man page
#
jmac
So you get stodgy 2007-era code
#
[snarfed]
whoa. from that post ^: "...the exact question of Indieweb silo backfeeds was brought up on the recent episode 55 of the “Rechtsbelehrung” podcast, one of the most prominent German podcasts on legal questions of modern technology, with an equally prominent lawyer in the GDPR field"

are there any GreaseMonkey scripts to dynamically change the way silos work? Like, the "retweet" button on twitter.com could be repurposes to invoke quill, for example?

have you seen omnibear yet?

skippy
yes, but it does not replace the on-screen buttons. requires me to right-click and select it from a cluttered menu. :)

also, omnibear syndication is not working currently?

That would be an interesting user script or browser extension idea, skippy

Hello indieweb! Thanks for introducing me to Omnibear. It looks like a great tool but I'm having difficulty getting it to work with Known. Has anyone been successful at this?
#
[John]
Feel free to tell me to RTFM if I'm missing something obvious. :)
#

Do you get any specific errors? Many people have had separate finicky things to address with Micropub clietns and their sites, I’m afraid
#
skippy
the lack of client-side information in Omnibear is frustrating.
#
[John]
When trying to reply to a post I get "Error authenticating to micropub endpoint. Try logging out and logging back in. " I followed their advice but it didn't work.
#
[John]
Strange since the set up seemed to work (I'm using Known as my blog)
#
Zegnat
Yes, very strange. If you pass the initial set up it sounds like Known has given a token to Omnibear to post with. While Omnibear’s error is suggesting that when it posts something (using said token) Known is not accepting it

When I look at the Auth details in Omnibear it seems OK. Domain name, micropub endpoint and token are all set up.
#
[John]
Is there another way I could test my micropub endpoint? I've been able to podt previously to my site using Quill and Indigenous.

[John] I think that [jgmac1106] has been using Omnibear with Known recently. Not sure if he's been having any issues, and if I recall he's running the older 0.99 "official" release instead of the github master branch.

[chrisalrich] [john] Yes I have tried Omnibear with my Known. I can publish to Known, but I have not configured out how to set up the endpoints in the OmniBear settings to it syndicates to Twitter (if I even can)

So an important side effect in my classes where I focus on owning your own data and domain is how more open students become. The ignite talk in these classes have been amazing and I don’t think I would have gotten their without the focus on controlling identity. My students have discussed: mental illness in college, overcoming addiction, coming out,admitting to class they suffer addiction, being a teen mom, being a homeless college student. Real

stories I may not have gotten with a focus on controlling your own narrative

jgmac1106_ it's good to know this is possible. I must have done something wrong in the registration process. Thanks for confirming!

Wow. That latest write-up by sgreger is huge and thought provoking! His way of “verifying” webmentions is interesting as well. Good stuff. Link for people who haven’t seen it yet: https://sebastiangreger.net/2018/05/indieweb-privacy-challenge-webmentions-backfeeds-gdpr/

syndication endpoints don't work in omnibear at the moment, I submitted a PR that fixes the problem

I should declare HWC Dubai if solo ones count
#
[kevinmarks]
Or maybe call for one tomorrow night, though without my twitter to amplify it I would likely be solo anyway.

I contacted Salt about starting an IWC for Seattle since he mentioned it during his talk at Linuxfest NW.

[kevinmarks] a great example since it is community awarded but also has credibility value of the foundation, its a beautiful evening and my oldest is out on the course for a golf lesson. Trying to summarize my thinking on the subject
